JBL charge 4 dead motherboard?

[HR19]

I have a JBL charge 4 Bluetooth speaker. Motherboard appears to be having some kind of issue. When I power it with my lab bench supply it peaks a little less than 1A for a second or two then won't do anything. I've tried using the battery pack, which seems to be good, but also no dice. It also does not appear to respond to being plugged in to charge. No obvious signs that I can see of any damage to the board. I tested the speaker independently and it seems to be functioning correctly. Can anyone see anything in these pictures that I don't see? Or does anyone know a likely component of failure for these for me to test? Or have any ideas about other ways to test components? Thanks in advance!

Rather surprisingly, the service manual is available:

Elektrotanya for electronics experts

Electronics forum for electronics experts to repair defective appliance.

elektrotanya.com

That should help you fault find.

Thanks, but I have a different board revision, and I'm not sure I understand that service manual well enough for it to help me unless you're suggesting I just physically, manually check every single component on the board? I'm going someone has experience with this board or a similar one and can help me out.

No, that's not how you mend things - you need to fault find, start by checking voltages and finding where it's coming from, and where it's not going that it's supposed to.
